This policy was maintained until [[2200 B.C.E.]], when a group of San 'Shyuum known as the [[Reformists]] demanded they be given access to the Dreadnought. This was anathema to the [[Stoics]] who maintained the belief of reverence. For the next one hundred years, the San 'Shyuum engaged in [[San 'Shyuum Civil War|internal conflict]]. The war ended in [[2100 B.C.E.]], when one thousand Reformists barricaded themselves in the Dreadnought. As the Stoics were unwilling to destroy the object they revered, they were indecisive over what to do.

While it | While it is unknown if the Prophets ever returned to their homeworld, they did keep tabs on it, and learned that the planet was destroyed when its star collapsed upon itself in [[648 B.C.E.]]. After this, ''[[High Charity]]'', a mobile planetoid made out of the chunk or rock and powered by the Dreadnought, became the new homeworld of the San 'Shyuum.<ref name= "ENC119" >'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''': ''page 119''</ref> | ||
